Using PGF in Lyx

Question

and I get errors ... I suppose I need to install/configure Lyx to use PGF/Tikz?

You need to add \usepackage{tikz} to your preamble (I think you can do this by selecting LaTeX preamble from the Layout menu). — Jake, Aug 28 '11 at 12:42
I think you should change the Editor. I think in cases like this LyX reaches his capability — Marco Daniel, Aug 28 '11 at 13:25
@Jake, I added \usepackage{tikz} under Document > Settings > LaTeX preamble I still got the same error. — Jiew Meng, Aug 28 '11 at 13:46
@Jake, thanks you got me on the right track! I needed \usepackage{pgfplots} too — Jiew Meng, Aug 28 '11 at 13:49
@jiewmeng: Have a look at this post: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/339/latex-editors-ides At the beginning TeXStudio is one of the best one. — Marco Daniel, Aug 28 '11 at 13:53

You need to add \usepackage{pgfplots} to your preamble. In LyX, you can edit the preamble under Document | Settings | LaTeX Preamble.
